A Trick For Really Great Italan Food
Page Two Hundred Sixty.
The next time you make Italian food, practically anything, grate a touch of fresh nutmeg into it. Italian cuisine has much more nutmeg than you may realize. Grate it into your Fettuccine Alfredo or your spaghetti with meat sauce or Bolognese sauce. When you make meatballs add some nutmeg to the mixture. Not too much mind you, just a nice pinch. Sprinkle some into your lasagne and of course, on top of your Tiramisu. It'll be great eating.

Dieting While Attending The Feast Of The Assumption - How I Did
Page One Hundred Twenty-Six.
Per one of my blogs last week, I was determined to attend the feast and still remain on my weight reduction diet. So... how did I do?
Okay. I attended three times: Thursday mid-late afternoon; Saturday evening and late Sunday night for the fireworks.
Thursday: I deeply soul-enjoyed the one slice of sausage pizza which I purchased. However, afterwards I was still hungry and didn't have the defenses in place to protect myself from the Devil's wares. I purchased a small order of fries (which was huge) but was only able to eat about 1/3 or so before I was full. Then just prior to leaving I bought a pound of cinnamon pralines, but ate none while walking. Later that night, I ate about 1/2 ounce.
Friday: ate about 1 more ounce of the pralines.
Saturday: no pralines that day. At the feast had one more slice of pizza. An hour later purchased one single meatball. Then got a lemonade.
Sunday: no pralines at all. At the feast had one more slice of pizza. An hour later purchased one single meatball. Then got a lemonade. Enjoyed the stunning fireworks.
So, I'm moderately pleased with my performance. (But, I'm stuck with almost a pound of the Devil's pralines on my kitchen shelf. Do you want them? I'll mail them to you. Seriously.)
On Saturday, in the middle of this whole thing, I got some good news. At my gym they tested my percentage of body fat. The preferred fat content of gentlemen my age should be 22% or below. I'm at 21.6%. This is with a loss of ten pounds, ten to go. If you ever hear me complaining about my fat, tell me to be quiet.
